Judy Cheteyan

Internships

Businesswoman and Society for Contemporary Craft past board member and president, Judy Cheteyan has been an invaluable asset to the arts community in Pittsburgh. Both Judy and her husband, Michael, believe that the arts and education make for a stronger community; therefore, affordable exposure to these is crucial for all citizens. Ms. Cheteyan is a strong proponent and supporter of the SCC outreach programs: "It’s really a way to make the connections with young people — to bring out their talent and allow them to develop their creativity."

To foster growth in the arts arena, the couple has developed The Judy Cheteyan Scholarship Fund, an annual summer scholarship which will be offered under the auspices of the Society for Contemporary Craft. The scholarship will provide a college student with the opportunity to gain professional experience within a nationally and internationally known contemporary craft organization. This three-month internship alternates each year between an artist-in-residence assistant and an arts management/art education residency. Either program will provide the student with professional and career development and practical experience with professional artists and arts management personnel.
